*Cordelia*

I yawned and walked from my room out to the fountain. That was when Frau, Castor and Labrador all walked over wearing their casual outfits.

"Good morning Cordelia." I smiled.

"Good morning Castor."

"Hey, were just heading out to go shopping now, do you want to join us?" Asked Frau and I nodded.

"Sure, sounds like fun." The four of us then headed out of the church and towards town together.

*Ayanami*

I walked over to the crashed Hawkzile with the rest of the Black Hawks close behind me. I looked around for any blood or any sign that Cordelia had been here but there was nothing. According to the reports the Hawkzile had fallen straight down and hadnt hit anything while falling which meant that there was no way the evidence or Cordelia's body could have been buried which meant...

"Ayanami-Sama... Does this mean that Cordelia is still alive?" Asked Konatsu earning a sigh from me.

"Yes, it does. It also means that she is hiding out here in the Seventh District. Spread out through the two towns closest to here and find her." Everyone nodded and split up.

*Cordelia*

I walked through town with Castor, Labrador and Frau. We had to buy food and things like soap and shampoo for the church. Castor then stopped and I looked at him.

"Alright, here we are, the Barsburg General Store." We all walked in and I smiled brightly. There was so much in here. Castor gently kissed my cheek and I looked at him. "Frau, Labrador and I will grab what we need, you can go and find something for yourself and I'll buy them for you." I blinked in surprise then blushed slightly.

"You don't need to do that Castor." He smiled.

"I know but I want to. Surely you wont refuse me the pleasure of buying you gifts." I sighed.

"Well when you put it that way I cant really refuse, now can I?" I gently kissed Castor's cheek then went to look around. I smiled when I saw statues of the Seven Ghosts. I grabbed one of Zehel, Vertrag, Profe and Fest. I continued to look around then saw some herbal tea's. I looked at the tag on one of them. It was made by Labrador. It cured many things including insomnia. I sighed. Herbal teas were definantly what my big brother needed. I blinked in surprise when I realized that I was thinking of my big brother in a sweet way again. He didn't deserve to be thought of in a sweet way. He had murdered Krom and Kreuz, and for that, I could never forgive him.

*Ayanami*

I stood in the town not far from Barsburg Church with Hyuuga and Konatsu, waiting for Kuroyuri, Haruse and Katsuragi to report. That was when the three of them walked over.

"We searched the whole town and didn't find her anywhere, Ayanami-Sama." Reported Katsuragi and I nodded.

"Very well then spread out through this town and search for her." They all nodded and everyone split up.

*Cordelia*

I saw a jar of candy and looked at it Frau then walked over and I looked up at him.

"Do you like sweets?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Not really, but I do like spicy foods." He smirked.

"I like you more and more all the time." He reached into the jar of candy and pulled out a few of the same color. "These are the spicy ones. They are my personal favorites." I smiled.

"Thanks Frau." He nodded.

"Come on, I'll pay for those." We went up and saw Castor and Labrador waiting for us. We all put everything that we had up on the counter. The girl rang up everything then sighed.

"Your total is 200 Yuus." Castor, Labrador and Frau all split the cost and the girl bagged everything for us. We all grabbed a few bags then walked from the store together.

"Alright, all we need now is some fresh fruit." Stated Labrador and we all nodded. That was when I spotted a crowd of people.

"What's going on over there?" I asked and my three companions all looked at the crowd.

"Im not sure." Stated Castor, grabbing my hand. We all walked over.

"Hey, what's going on?" Frau asked to an old man.

"The army is searching for someone who escaped here into the seventh district." We all gasped. That was when we heard screams. Castor looked around then saw a shop selling black cloaks. He grabbed two which he gave to Frau and I. We both put them on just as Kuroyuri came into sight.

"Frau, get Cordelia away from here now. Labrador and I will go in a different direction and meet you at the church." Frau gasped.

"But why?" He asked.

"Because if Cordelia's brother shows up he will recognize us instantly so we cant be seen with Cordelia, because it would compromise her safety." Frau nodded then grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

"We'll see you guys later. Let's go." I nodded and held on tightly to Frau's hand, allowing him to pull me through the mass of screaming people.

*Castor*

Labrador and I ran in a different direction than Frau and Cordelia. That was when a blonde girl tripped. We helped her up then pulled her away from the military soldiers with us. That was when a boy with pink hair that hung down in a braid landed in front of us followed by a man with black hair.

"Stop right there." He tilted his head when he realized that the girl wasnt Cordelia. I pushed the girl back.

"Run." She nodded then ran towards the crowd of screaming people behind us.

"Well I guess we have to keep looking, Haruse." The boy went to run past me back I held out an arm.

"Unfortunately, I cannot allow you to find Cordelia." He blinked in surprise.

"So you know where she is." I smirked.

"Yes, and I am not telling you." The boy frowned.

"Then I suppose I will have to beat it out of you." He fired his Zaiphon at me and I easily dodged.

"Was that meant for me?" I asked arrogantly. He gritted his teeth then jumped at me, shooting his Zaiphon at me as much as he possibly could. I wrapped my strings around him then sent him flying back onto the ground.

"KUROYURI-SAMA!" The other one went to run over to his superior but Labrador blocked him with flowers that shot up from under the ground. That was when the boy managed to break free of my strings. He shot his Zaiphon at me again and I dodged, grabbing a sword that was laying on the ground. I then ran at him and he gasped as I spun and kicked him in the face, sending him flying to the ground. I then stabbed the sword down through his shoulder and into the ground to keep him there, causing him to let out a scream of pain. The other enemy then shot his Zaiphon at Labrador, who I grabbed then jumped out of the way.

"Alright Labrador, let's go catch up with them." He nodded as I put him down. We then headed back after Cordelia and Frau.

*Ayanami*

Hyuuga, Konatsu, Katsuragi and I all ran over to Kuroyuri and Haruse. Kuroyuri was crying into Haruse's uniform and I could see a stab wound in his shoulder. I walked over and kneeled down beside Haruse.

"Kuroyuri, who did this to you?" He sniffled and looked up at me.

"Im not sure, I didn't get his name Ayanami-Sama. But I can tell you what he looks like." I nodded. "He has red-brown hair, brown eyes and wore glasses." I gasped.

"Xing-Lu." I stood up straight then headed in the direction that I knew Xing-Lu had gone. Hyuuga and Konatsu then followed while Katsuragi stayed behind to help Haruse look after Kuroyuri. Xing-Lu's head had been brought to Miroku-Sama so if he was still alive then that meant that he had become the vessel of Fest. If that was so, then I was going to devour Xing-Lu and bring Cordelia back with me.

*Cordelia*

I continued to run towards the church with Frau. The crowd had all gone in different directions and now we were the only two left running towards the church. That was when I sensed something behind us. I stopped then turned just as Castor and Labrador caught up to us.

"Castor, Labrador are you two alright?" They both nodded. That was when a voice rang through my head.

'Kill them Cordelia.' I gasped

'I wont.' I responded. That was when Aya, Hyuuga and Konatsu blocked our way back to the church. Frau, Castor and Labrador all stepped in front of me.

"So I was right, you and Ilyusha were the one's who fought Kuroyuri, Xing-Lu."

"It appears that I was also right about who was after Cordelia, I simply couldn't imagine it being anyone other than you, Krowell. From the first time I met you I've felt that you were dangerous to Cordelia-Sama." I blinked in surprise. He had called me Cordelia-Sama. Krowell smirked.

"Really? Well since the beginning I have felt like you would always be a hindrance to me, a flaw in my plans." This caused Xing-Lu to smirk as well.

"That's because the love you know that I hold for Cordelia is a flaw in your plans." Aya, Hyuuga and Konatsu all drew a sword.

"I will take Krowell, Frau and Labrador take the black haired one and Cordelia you take the other one." We all nodded. We then all attacked our targets. Konatsu slashed at me and I easily dodged. I then spun and went to kick him in the face but he dodged under my kick then punched at me. I met his punch with my arm then back flipped back as he slashed at me. I then ran at him and kicked at his hand, making his sword go flying. I then punched at him and he grabbed my wrist.

"Cordelia, stop this! I don't want to fight you!" I gasped and met Konatsu's eyes.

'I promise that I will never abandon you, Konatsu Warren.' I pulled my wrist from Konatsu's grip then jumped back. I couldn't fight him. I couldn't fight Konatsu. I could fight Ayanami and all the other's but the one person from the Black Hawks that I could not fight was Konatsu. He was the only best friend I ever had.

"Please Cordelia, just come with us. If you come with us then nobody needs to get hurt and we wont have to fight against each other anymore." I looked down then glared up at Konatsu causing him to gasp.

"That is selfish Konatsu. Here I thought that you were my best friend, but you are only thinking about yourself and Aya aren't you? Your not even thinking about what I want. You have become nothing but a mindless slave of Ayanami's!" I snarled then drew my scythe and everyone gasped. I then jumped right at my brother and attacked him, my scythe clashing with his sword.

"Huh, so it was as I expected. When I went to devour Kreuz half of his soul was missing and he sealed that half of his soul inside you, Cordelia." I pushed Aya back then slashed at him, sending him skidding back.

"What's with all of this casual analysis of the situation. I thought that you came here to bring me back to the Black Hawks. If you are going to bring me back then do it already. Do it before I kill you."

*Castor*

I watched with wide eyes as Cordelia fought against her brother. That scythe was... Vertrag's. Did that mean that Cordelia was Vertrag? No... She was still warm, whenever I held her close to me I could feel her heart beating. I gasped as Cordelia sent Krowell's sword flying then slashed down towards his chest. That was when a light enveloped them both. We all covered our eyes and after a minute the light subsided and I looked at Cordelia and Krowell. Krowell collapsed back and was caught by his black haired subordinate. He then picked Krowell up bridal style.

"Well this is no good, let's go Konatsu." The blonde boy nodded and the three of them disappeared. I then ran over to Cordelia just as she fell back, her scythe disappearing. I caught her then fell to my knees holding her tightly in my arms.

"Cordelia are you alright?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yeah, im just exhausted." Frau and Labrador then ran over and kneeled down beside us.

"What happened?" Asked Frau.

"I stole the other half of my soul from Aya." She continued to pant lightly and I sighed, resting my head against her's.

"Why didn't you ever tell me that you had half of Vertrag's soul?" I asked and she sighed.

"I guess I probably should have huh? After all you three are Ghosts as well. Labrador is Profe, Frau is Zehel and you my precious Xing-Lu..." Cordelia gently cupped my face in her hands. "Are Fest." She finished then leaned up and gently kissed me. My grip on Cordelia tightened and I kissed her back as Frau and Labrador both looked away. My tongue found it's way into Cordelia's mouth and she blushed as her tongue began to dance with mine. After a minute we both pulled away and Cordelia panted lightly. I then gently rested my head against her's. For so long I had missed her. But now I had Cordelia back and I didn't intend to give her up to anyone. Cordelia was mine and things were going to stay that way. I would never again allow Krowell to pull her away from me the same way he did that day. Maybe I was being selfish, but I felt the need to be selfish because the girl in my arms was my Eternal Princess.

CASTOR'S POSSESSIVENESS

What does Castor do when Cordelia get's too close to bad guys like Frau?

*Castor*

I walked around a corner then gasped when I saw Cordelia about to kiss Frau's cheek.

I believe that it would suffice to say that I was the one who caused Frau to almost drown in the fountain that day, though he had done nothing wrong.

What does Castor so when Cordelia get's too close to a nice guy like Labrador?

*Castor*

I walked into the green house just in time to see Cordelia kiss Labrador on the cheek. I then walked over and gently patted her on the head. "Aww, a cute little kiss on the cheek helping you." She smiled and nodded.

"Yep, Labrador helped me a lot so I gave him a kiss as thanks." I smiled at Labrador.

"Thank you for helping Cordelia." He smiled as well.

"Any time Castor."

"WHAT!? HE GET'S A THANK YOU AND I GET DROWN IN A FOUNTAIN!? THAT IS NOT FAIR!"

*END OF CASTOR'S POSSESIVENESS*


THE SADNESS OF HYUUGA THE PYTHONHow did Hyuuga the Python react when Cordelia never came home?

*Ayanami*

I sighed and glanced at Hyuuga as he lay in his little artificial tree, still sulking. He had been sulking since Cordelia had disappeared. Probably the best thing for me to do would be to drop him off in front of the church. That had to be where Cordelia was staying. I ran to the back of the house then grabbed a box and poked holes in it. Vertrag and Fest (the panthers) both tilted their heads. I then put Hyuuga's blanket in the box then walked over to the Python and picked it up, carrying it over to the large box and plopping it down inside. I also grabbed Krom the cat and put him in the box with Hyuuga. I then taped the box closed and put a stamp on it, putting the address it was to then writing Hyuuga and Krom on it. I then walked to the post office and left the box with them.

I sighed as I sat back down in my chair. Now I was free of one sulking cat and one sulking python that hated my guts. Vertrag and Fest then walked over. Vertrag had a wine glass in it's mouth and Fest had a bottle of my favorite wine in it's mouth. I took the wine glass and bottle of wine then poured myself a glass of wine to celebrate my victory over one of the Hyuuga's in my life. The problem left now was the other Hyuuga. unfortunately though I couldn't just send that Hyuuga away in a box. But I could throw him in the TO BE INCINERATED box of my trash.

"That might actually work."

*Cordelia*

I grabbed the package that had come for me then sat down on my bed and opened it. I gasped when I saw Krom, my tabby cat and Hyuuga the python in the box. Krom jumped out of the box and curled up on my lap purring while Hyuuga wrapped himself around my neck. Had Aya seriously sent me a python and a tabby cat in the mail?
